All fluids are: - gases or liquids Gases may be distinguished from other forms of matter by their: - inability to form free surfaces 1Pa is: - 1kg/m·s2 Mercury is a convenient liquid to use in a barometer because: - it has a high density To obtain the absolute pressure from the gauge pressure: - add atmospheric pressure Barometers and open-tube manometers are two instruments that are used to measure pressure. - Barometers measure absolute pressure and manometers measure gauge pressure

You are told to plot a graph of position vs. time. Which of the following is true? (Graphing Analysis) - Position goes on the y (vertical) axis and time goes on the x (horizontal) axis. Given your standard kinematic equation v=at+v0, and the standard equation for a line y=mx+b, when asked to graph velocity vs. time, graphically v0 would correspond to ? (Graphing Analysis) - The y-axis intercept You are asked to plot velocity vs. time. The slope of this graph will represent what physica...

Standing Waves Lab Online Purpose The purpose of this activity is to examine the relationships between the tension in a sting, the length density of the string, the length of the string, and the standing waves that can form on the string. Theory A standing wave is a wave where the overall pattern does not appear to move. For standing wave to form on a string, the basic condition that must be met is that both ends of the string must be fixed in place, never moving themselves. This means th...
